Nightrider Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I stomped one with pipes and it was gutted for motocross.Not even close,he hung on for about 2 gears and I opened up about 10 lengths on him by the time I hit 5th. 32 h.p stock and 500lbs,You do the math.

STLBILL Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hi guys: The V-Twin 700 is better left in the Prairie utility quad where it's torque can be realized. Regards, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeBrian Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 The v-force has a perfect take off everytime. stock for stock i a believe the v-force would take a shee.sorry to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrider Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I have an 03 Banshee and V-Force.I bought them both for drag racing and both stock.The V-Force is a 10th of a second quicker in 100 yds. All I have to say Banshee #48 is there is only two reasons your V-force is faster than your shee... The first being you have no idea how to drag race a shee.You are probably the "guy" who gets stomped on by z400's and 400ex's.Then I have to hear those same guys talkin shit about how they can beat banshees on their 400's.Whatever. The second reason being,Your a wuss,take off the dress and race like a man.Let me tell you something,even when my shee was stock,I made sure I knew how to race it before I jumped out there and got beat down.You guys need to learn that a banshee is only as good as its rider. I can see how you think an automatic would be quicker and would get a better holeshot,but thats not the case.Stock for stock,the V-force is giving the shee about 100lbs and a couple of horsepower.Not to menton they top out around 65mph. Have any of you guys heard about Power to weight ratios?The V-force was mathmatically eliminated before the race even began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of you guys heard about Power to weight ratios?The V-force was mathmatically eliminated before the race even began. 1st of all, I can see that your a real class act !! 2nd do you think that i'm the only one there with a Banshee ?? We do bracket racing, you get 3 passes then you select a dial in. come race time the lights are staggered accordingly. My "V" has dual exhaust, clutch kit and K&N filter. running 22" 4-snows on rear. If I end up racing a stock or slightly modified Banshee ie.....piped & jetted.....ect he will start anywhere from 2-5 10ths ahead of me. If I can do something to knock off another 10th from what I run now, I will be able to move up to the top class and run with the modified Banshees and 250R's and Quadzillas. Now if your going to tell me that nobody in the state of Maine knows how to ride a Banshee or some shit like, then don't bother !! I'm 38yrs old, I'm not some punk kid, I dont need to hear your crap !! If you have something constructive to say, then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeleymaster99 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 there was a group of guys at little shara with about 3 of them and we ran a few drags and they couldent come close but they were all stock it took a little to get them to race me but when they finaly did i killed them everytime we raced but they all had stock tires i'll bet that gave them a little disadvantige in sand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrider Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Well,Well,Well...Now the V-force has pipes,a clutch kit etc.Maybe you need to go back and change your post where you mentioned that your V-Force is STOCK! I never said you were a punk kid,or ever implied it.Im just teling you what I know.I've raced V-Forces,including an Mx machine that looked like Swiss sheese. I destroy them.If you know "how" to drag race a banshee,then no V-force or any 4stroke should get you out of the hole.After that the race is over cause theres no catching a banshee.Your best bet is to get the holeshot and try to fend off a huge closer. For bracket racing,its a different story.I could see the V-force winning alot of races because consistencey counts,"But running with modified banshees and Zillas?"I think you might have jumped out there a little with that statement......And remember suckers jump up to get beat down. I don't recall ever stating that people of maine can't ride,just the one guy that you beat one night on his banshee.He was probably wearing lace panties,but nobody knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_Shee Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I'm gonna jump in here as a V-Force owner--first off the bike doesn't top out at 65 mph. Its in the 75 mph range bone stock, and up from there with clutching modifications. And a little clarification on your HP #'s the V-Twin is producing 50 horse at the crank. Those numbers you are giving came from a dyno run of a stock machine with stock clutching. The stock clutching in the auto tranny doesn't allow the machine to rev past 6500 rpm and the 700 twin makes peak power at 8500rpm; therefore the dyno numbers at the rear wheel are not what the motor is actually capable of producing, just what the clutch setup is ALLOWING it to produce. The stock clutching is set up to utilize the tremendous torque (38 ft/lbs bone stock) that the motor is capable of producing, and the clutch setup is also used to detune the bike so that Joe-Schmo isn't killing himself with it. With minimal mods to the intake, exhaust, and clutching this is a bike capable of 85+ mph and will pull a piped Banshee by 3 to 4 bike lengths through the gears--trust me, I have extensive seat and mod time with both machines. Don't take the V-Force mildly, it is unimpressive in stock form, but with a tuned clutch it is a serious threat to anything with similar mods.
